THE NATIONAL THEATRE OF THE WORLD!!!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Brad Fraser. I was introduced to Brad\u2019s work late in the game, although I had certainly heard his name bouncing around much earlier. The first Fraser play I saw was, at that time, his latest, <em>True Love Lies<\/em> at Factory Theatre, where I had a similar reaction, I think, to most people who see Fraser plays. I was obsessed with the dialogue. He is called a \u201cmaster\u201d of writing conversations and I don\u2019t care how many plays you have seen, written, directed, acted in, dramaturged or avoided, you see a Fraser play and you immediately have some sort of revelation about how meticulously and accurately the vernacular and rhythms of speech in conversation can be captured for the stage. Fraser\u2019s play made me realize how false and heightened and hugely articulate and poetic most dialogue in plays are written to be. I read somewhere where Fraser\u2019s plays were likened to \u201coverhearing a conversation between two people on the bus\u201d and that seems to me to hit right at the heart of what his plays can do. They don\u2019t seem written, but with a keen eye and knowledge of the theatre, one knows the amount of talent it takes to seem almost invisible. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I next play I saw of Fraser\u2019s was one of his first, a recent non-Equity production of <em>Wolf Boy<\/em> (1981), which was an ambitious but uneven production, but still highlighted how fascinating and exciting the play is\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>and I came away wishing that I had seen one of its initial performances. <em>Wolf Boy<\/em> still resonates and is still, sadly, relevant, but I am sure that it must have been a powerful and provocative piece in the cultural\u00a0and political climate of the early 1980s. His plays are not only political but they belong to the moment they\u2019re being written. Fraser assaults the present moment, he exposes its underbelly with a fierce quest to examine and question the things that people hold sacred, the conventions we cling to and the deep complexities and contradictions inherent in all our daily interactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\">Other Brad Fraser plays include <em>Chainsaw Love <\/em>(1985, Edmonton Fringe Festival), <em>Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love <\/em>(1989, Alberta Theatre Projects PlayRites Festival, has since been produced in Edmonton, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Sydney, London, Sao Paulo and Cincinnati, among other cities), <em>The Ugly Man<\/em> (1993, Workshop West Theatre, Edmonton), <em>Poor Super Man<\/em> (1994, Cincinnati Ensemble Theatre, since produced in Edmonton, Buffalo, Edinburgh, London, Washington D.C, Toronto, Montreal, Sydney and Sao Paulo, <em>Martin Yesterday<\/em> (1998), <em>Outrageous<\/em> (2000, Canadian Stage, Toronto), <em>Snake in Fridge<\/em> (2001, Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester) and San Francisco, <em>Cold Meat Party<\/em> (2003, Royal Exchange Theatre) also Factory Theatre (Toronto), and his most recent play <em>5 @ 50<\/em> which debuted at the Royal Exchange in 2011. His plays are available in print at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatrebooks.com\/\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Theatre Books<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\"> in Toronto and I recommend checking them out. Also a very early play of his <em>Mutants<\/em> is included in Robin Whittaker\u2019s anthology of plays that Premiered at the Walterdale Playhouse <em>Hot Thespian Action.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\">Fraser has been internationally honoured and acclaimed for his work. He has twice received the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadiantheatre.com\/dict.pl?term=Chalmers%20Awards\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Chalmers Award<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\"> (<em>Unidentified&#8230;<\/em> and <em>Poor Super Man<\/em>) and was nominated for the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadiantheatre.com\/dict.pl?term=Governor%20General%27s%20Award\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Governor General&#8217;s Award<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\"> for <em>Poor Super Man<\/em>, 1996). He is a five-time winner of the Alberta Culture Playwriting Competition and five-time winner of the Alberta Writers&#8217; Guild Drama Award. He also received the London Evening Standard Award for best new play and the Los Angeles Critics&#8217; Award. I wish that his plays were given professional revivals more in Toronto because there are a great many that I have not seen and want to very ardently. I\u2019m especially eager to see <em>Snake in Fridge<\/em>, which is not as well known as much of his other work, which is likely why I want so ardently to see it. Based loosely on the salacious exploits of Michael Alig, here is an excerpt from the description on <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bradfraser.net\/\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Fraser\u2019s website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\">, \u201cL<\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\">ed by the steroid abusing, foul mouthed, unbelievably angry club kid, Corbett, seven people, all working in the sex industry, share a house in Toronto.\u201d Sounds like it belongs at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buddiesinbadtimes.com\/\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Buddies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">, right?

Or, rather, they love to sensationalize the \u201cBrad Fraser: Bad Boy of the Canadian Theatre\u201d image that they constructed decades ago. What bothers me about this is that too often they write off what he says as being, \u201cjust Brad Fraser stirring up scandal\u201d or \u201cBrad Fraser, once again, being subversive\u201d that \u201crebellious, bad, bad, boy\u201d, instead of actually taking a moment to consider the legitimacy of what he is saying. Could it be that the mainstream Canadian media are typically cowardly and self interested&#8230; well we all saw what happened with <em>The Globe and Mail <\/em>during the recent election. So, what do you think?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">To me, Brad Fraser is a Canadian theatre hero, and one that is not afraid to give voice to the issues that are pertinent in our community. He is smart, he is passionate, he is articulate and he calls out bullshit in a way that is not only refreshing, but necessary for the Canadian theatre to be better, stronger and to bring forth work and artists that are world-class, unique, brave and that fuel and evoke volatile reaction from their audiences which will ultimately keep the theatre alive. Brad Fraser demands better from all of us and he refuses to give in to complacency; he refuses to settle for mediocre. Yet, it all comes from his faith in what this country and its artists are capable of. Brad Fraser inspires me to dig deeper, to never stifle my curiosity and to never, ever be afraid, to consent to being bullied or being made to feel intimidated by anyone with power, money or clout. He helps keep me true to my heart and he helps keep my heart searching for the truth. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadiantheatre.com\/\"><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0Fraser \u201cwas once a contributor to <em>The National Post<\/em>, considered a right-wing publication. About this he told Edmonton&#8217;s <em>Vue Magazine<\/em>, in June, 2000, &#8220;&#8230;I&#8217;m really tired of preaching to the converted. I could write for a great many publications where they&#8217;d agree with everything I say. But I really want to write for the people who don&#8217;t agree with everything I say.&#8221;\u201d I think that speaks wonders of him as a man and a human being.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: small;\">I saw The National Theatre of the World perform a Brad Fraser <em>Impromptu Splendor<\/em> with special guest Chris Craddock over a year and a half ago. Brad was the first playwright that I know of who attended a Splendor in his own style and his reaction was very enthusiastic and he has been an ardent supporter of The National Theatre of the World and their work ever since. Tonight is sure to be a hot and sexy, wild and foul-mouthed adventure, likely with some bare bottoms and booze.
